Chrome Wheel Polish/Cleaner/Sealer?

What are you guys/gals using for your Chrome wheels? I have a set of Weld Racing wheels and have already noticed it's tough getting some stuff off the wheels. I try and clean them once a week, but that doesn't always happen.

What is your favorite cleaner?

What is your favorite product for a SHINE like no other?

What is your favorite sealer? Is there such a product that would protect a nicely cleaned Chrome wheel?

I usually stay with stock wheels so this custom Chrome stuff is new to me.

Thanks,
Rich

I would check with Weld to see if they are clear-coated. If they are, you can treat them just like paint............ clean, polish, then a wax or sealant. If they are not clear-coated, you'll need to use a good billet or chrome polish, and then a sealant.

Any quality sealant should work.......... Zaino, Klasse SG, NXT, Poorboys EX-P, 4* UPP, and several others. There are even some dedicated wheel waxes/sealants like Wheel Wax. As a matter of fact, Poorboy has a new wheel product coming out soon called "Wheel Sealant", that works great. I was fortunate to get a chance to try some. I was quite impressed with how it minimized brake dust, and allowed the remaining dust to wash off quite easily.

Hope this helps.

oh hey, i relaly like those rims. I have never seen those types of rims on a truck, but they remind me of the older lamborghini rims. Anyway, with that being said, I went and got me some "Mothers Chrome Polish" comes in a red bottle, and works wonders. Hope that helps

chrome cleaner i have a lot of chrome on my truck, wheels, brush guard, and well too much to list, it can be a real pain here in az because the water sucks. it has lots of minerals in it so i have to wipe it down quick. for the chrome i use mothers chrome wax. it makes the clean up after each wash a lot easier
